Head is impressive and creamy, and by far the most notable thing about this beer, which - with what little flavor it has - is like bland corn.

Creamy head and great taste! Hits the spot when thirsty. A golden ale with smooth body. golden, frothy. Tasted dark to me and was what got me drinking the darker beers.

Pours with a nice creamy head. That’s the best thing I can say about it. Deep dark golden color. Feels kinda slimy in your mouth. Tastes like...you can’t wait until it’s gone.

From notes. First reviewed 10/16/2011. Served on nitro tap in a pint glass.
My glass arrives with a clear golden orange beer with a little bit of cascading nitrogen bubbles still waiting to settle. A dollup of tan cream rests on top, lasting the whole glass without leaving any lace.
The aroma is pretty faint. Toasted grains and some general bitterness are there, with a hint of a chemical process.
The flavor is not so much unpleasant as non existent. Light cereal grains start the flavor and linger until a chemical bitterness closes out the flavor. That is not a flattering description, and I am not impressed by the lack of flavor.
The nitro feel is definitely a gimmick, but I think it works every once in a while. Other than that, there is a light watery feel.
Once upon a time I thought this was a good beer. I must have fallen for the nitro mouthfeel as a substitute for taste, because this beer is really not that good. One problem with nitro is that it seems to leave a gaping whole in the flavor, and this beer is no exception.
